Hi Everyone - I'm getting banded on 8/24 and I must admit I'm really scared. I had a really bad surgical experience in the past - almost died , so this goes to show you how much I really want this. It's a little hard though - husband and sons, daughter-in-law, family members are all thin. Glad I found this site cause as much as they all love me - I'm not sure that they can really understand all I'm in for. I've got about 100 lbs. to loose and fear failure - just like all the past diets. Plus people can be a little tough - told a girl at work about my upcoming surgery - she said "oh yea, I know someone that did that - it didn't work" another girl said "well my husband and I looked into it - but you only loose weight right at first because you are on liquids" Whew - I need some serious positive feed back , so bring it on bandsters! I really want to succeed.:frown: Want2bligter!
